“We finally made it here. We almost died at the lifeless border.”
Flying Eagle gulped down the water and felt alive again.
“Little Yinyin, do you feel hot? I’ll cool you down.” As Flying Eagle spoke, he was going to pour the water on Fei Yin. However, someone slapped the back of his head and said, “The refugees here have no water to drink, but you dare to waste it.”
It was Yan Chengyu. After he hit Flying Eagle, he didn’t look at him. Instead, he handed the water to An Yan and asked him to drink.
An Yan hesitated as if he didn’t want to drink the water that Yan Chengyu gave him. Perhaps he felt he would owe Yan Chengyu something if he did that.
“Don’t get angry with me in such a situation. Drink it. It’s so hot here.”
Yan Chengyu nagged and thrust the water at An Yan.
An Yan took it compliantly. Yan Chengyu was right. It was not the right time to argue with Yan Chengyu on this.
“Yan Chengyu, you bastard, can’t you go easy on me?” Flying Eagle glared at Yan Chengyu.
“Will you remember things better if I hit you gently?” Yan Chengyu glanced sideways at Flying Eagle and then looked at the refugees nearby, who were staring at them and swallowed hard.
The refugees crowded under a shabby tent and sat on the barren earth, looking at them pitifully.
It was very hot, and the smell of earth permeated the air. It was suffocating. They could even see the air was distorted by the extreme heat.
“Why don’t the refugees have a proper place to stay? Their tents are too shabby. They would be burnt to death in a few days if they continue to stay there.”
Even Flying Eagle pitied the refugees. After he glanced at the tents that Leo arranged for them, he sighed helplessly. There were only tents here without a single bungalow to protect them from the sun. The tents that scattered everywhere could not shield anyone from the heat.
Flying Eagle’s expression brought tears to Leo’s eyes again. Their country was now in a state of chaos, and they couldn’t offer anything to the refugees. The soldiers saved the tents for the refugees and could do nothing else.
“I’m sorry, but we can’t provide you with a good house like Country Z.”
Leo bowed, tears plopping down on the earth and vanishing quickly.
“I didn’t say that it’s bad here. You don’t need to apologize. That makes me look like a bad guy.”
Flying Eagle scratched his head. He blurted out his feelings just now, and he didn’t mean to hurt Leo.
“You talked without thinking,” said Yan Chengyu.
“What does it have to do with you? You’ve been very arrogant recently!”
Flying Eagle bickered with Yan Chengyu again. They didn’t look tired at all.
Xu Yangyi had been silent ever since he arrived. He looked at the refugees not far away with a grave face. No one knew what he was thinking.
“Wife, have some water.”
He Jingyan handed the water to Xu Yangyi, who did not take it and continued to look at the refugees.
A child suddenly ran to him, but her mother carried her back and lowered her head apologetically to Xu Yangyi.
Although they really wanted to drink the water, they didn’t rush over. They looked like a group of refugees with a good upbringing. The refugees in Country Z were a mob, snatching the things that they set eyes on.
However, perhaps someone had disciplined them, so they knew what they couldn’t do and what they could do.
But Country Z left the refugees alone without offering any help, so they had to snatch things in order to survive.
Xu Yangyi suddenly shed tears, pitying the refugees.
He Jingyan held him in his arms and stroked his head to comfort him.
“Uncle, please help them!” Xu Yangyi said in a sobbing voice.
